Tour Two: Josh Thomas
For a very different take on the exhibition, join comedian Josh Thomas as he takes you on a tour he describes as ‘Optimism for Dummies’. Always joyful — occasionally profound — Josh’s tour is an example of Optimism in motion. So if you are looking for something to smile about, this is the tour for you!
